Review

These guys are a hidden gem among the "daily payouts" crowd! One of the things that impressed me most about the service was how many value added freebies they throw into your subscription. Like a real-time squawk service that lets you hear the important news headlines read aloud before they show up on most other services. It's also super cool that you can earn points by going through their training and education courses. By completing them I had enough free points to reset my evaluation account at no cost! Truly a great experience all around.

Great firm once you get past the 5 trading days! Taught me a lot about trading by taking it slow and having that 30% consistency rule!

Similar to the other prop firms on the list, fair rules and great pricing. I did not have any issues with them so I gave 9/10 for the customer care (did not have to chat with them)

Review

TradeDay has been around since 2020, which makes it one of the most established prop firms that has survived to this day (many popular options were only launched in the past two or three years). What makes TradeDay stand out to me is its unique payout split structure, one which incentivizes traders to consistently partner with them on their trading journeys. Payouts begin with a 80/20 payout split, which is standard for the industry, but at lifetime payout milestones, traders get upgraded to 90/10 and ultimately 95/5, which is unparalleled. No other prop firm offers such a payout structure! Many cap you at 80/20 in both the sim funded and live stages, while others offer 90/10 in sim but only 80/20 in live, whether because of CME membership requirements or because it makes more financial sense for the firm (and let's be real, because they can get away with it, because there are other firms doing the same). Only TradeDay's incentive structure keeps getting better the more profits you generate for the firm. While TradeDay support was reachable during the January and February Tradovate platform outages, it took markedly longer to hear back via email compared to other firms' frequent updates via Discord or directly on their websites' support chat. TradeDay's Discord had just been hacked, so perhaps that is one reason why they were not proactive about notifying traders about the status of trades affected by the Tradovate outages. TradeDay support was also markedly stricter than almost every other firm - while their competitors extended the rollback window in light of the platform instability affecting traders, TradeDay insisted on sticking strictly to the time window given by Tradovate. TradeDay's rules are clearly explained on their FAQ and the main ones to look out for are trading around news events and the milestone review every $5000. Onboarding via Rise occurs after passing the eval. Moving from eval to sim funded takes longer than other props too - after Globex.

I bought 6 accounts initialy thinking i would be able to also trade 6 funded accounts. Late realized this was just a marketing stunt and could only trade 3 funded accounts. Thats more on me than the firm i guess. Overall good experience no payout yet so cant really speak on that

I won an account with TradeDay, thats how I get to know them. I had bought a few accounts since then. One of the most professional and very educational propfirm. The CEO was a good trainer and a professional trader, Their portal is one of the best and the only prop firm that provided relevant training videos which demonstrate their professionalism. You can get free resets after performing some tasks they populated in their portal. This is one of the best, since others do not have this.

The evaluation pricing is very affordable, and having no activation fee is a huge bonus. Daily payouts are one of the best features available, which is exactly what makes TradeDay stand out as one of the top prop firms in the space.

Review

TradeDay was one of my favorite prop firms. I was consistently getting payouts and had a great experience with their rules, platform, and customer service. Everything worked smoothly and payouts were fast. Recently, my account was suspended without a very clear explanation, and I was put on hold for a few months while they said my trading style needs work. We will see if this gets rectified in a few months Even with that, I still think it’s a great firm with amazing rules and would recommend i
